About this service

An insert is designed to fit into an existing masonry fireplace or a custom cabinet. You need this service if you want to modernize an old, unused hearth without the mess of burning logs. Our process involves measuring your current opening, preparing the electrical hookups, and fitting the insert snugly for a seamless appearance. This is a great solution for homeowners who want to retain the look of a traditional fireplace while gaining the convenience of electric heating.

Many people don't realize that electric fireplaces are perfect for summer evenings. Since you can turn off the heating element entirely, you can keep the aesthetic charm of the fireplace running on a warm night. It creates a relaxing mood for entertaining guests or unwinding after a long day without adding any heat to your home.

Frequently asked in Raleigh

What is the downside of an electric fireplace?

The heat output might not be sufficient to warm extremely large rooms or your entire home during colder Raleigh months. Also, while the flame effect is realistic, it's still a simulation and not a real fire. For most spaces, it's a great supplemental heat and ambiance solution.

Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?

The visual flame effect uses minimal electricity, comparable to running a few light bulbs. The heater uses more power, but it's designed to be efficient for heating a single room. It's a cost-effective way to add ambiance and localized warmth in your Raleigh home.

Are electric fireplaces a good idea?

Yes, electric fireplaces are an excellent idea for many Raleigh residents. They offer the ambiance of a fireplace without the mess, maintenance, or safety concerns of wood or gas. They're simple to operate, require no ventilation, and can be installed in various locations.

What's the most realistic looking electric fireplace?

Look for models with advanced 3D flame technology, multiple flame color settings, and realistic ember bed designs. Some even offer sound modules to mimic crackling wood. The best ones create a very convincing visual and auditory experience.

Is an electric fireplace insert a good idea?

An insert is a fantastic idea if you have an existing fireplace opening. It's a clean and simple way to update an outdated hearth and add a functional heating element. Many Raleigh homeowners find it a perfect upgrade for their living spaces.

Can I plug an electric fireplace into a regular outlet?

Most electric fireplaces are designed to plug into a standard 120-volt household outlet, making installation incredibly convenient. This means you likely won't need special wiring for your Raleigh home. Just plug it in and enjoy the ambiance.
